Abstract (en)

A film forming apparatus comprises a film forming system comprising a film forming arrangement necessary for forming films; and a film monitoring system comprising a light source (40), a light-transmissive solid member (38), a signal transmitting means for transmitting light signals to the light-transmissive solid member (38), a driving unit for driving the light-transmissive solid member (38) for rotation about the optical axis of the light signals, an optical measuring unit comprising a spectroscope (53) and an optical detector (55), and a calculating unit (48). A film forming method comprises measuring the attenuation factor of transmitted light transmitted through a light-transmissive solid member (38) and attenuated by a thin film formed over the surface of the light-transmissive solid member (38) as a function of the wavelength of the transmitted light, and controlling film forming conditions according to data representing changes in the thickness and the optical constant of a thin film formed over the surface of a film monitor (36) formed in the light-transmissive solid member (38), in a real-time control mode taking multiple interference in the thin film into consideration. <IMAGE>
